Welcome! So you want to know about FlashBrighton/BANG Christmas BIG Screen Bonanza? Here’s a few details…
What is it?
From the producers of the ‘Carnival O Fun’ comes a new horizon in geek cinema. Starring “King of the Anim” Rich Mitch, “Compere with the gingerish hair” Seb Lee Delisle & “Bird with a BANG” Sarah Bird in a calamitous Christmas comedy caper, on December 9th 2008 “FlashBrighton & BANG Productions” bring you the “Big Screen Bonanza”!
This time round, with 4 packed-to-the-rafters ‘Carnivals‘ already behind us, we’re not just taking the ante and upping it: we’re quadrupalling it! That’s right kids, not content with limiting your fun to mere 50 places anymore, we’ve only gone and booked the Sallis Benney, giving us a massive 200 seats of animated goodness for you!
On the night Rich Mitch will showcase an astonishing array of hand-picked animations for your delectation and delight, including a festive selection to get us in the holiday mood. The weather outside’ll be frightful, doubtless, but inside there’ll be music and moonlight and love and romance! And the odd awkward pause between reels. So come along!
Then it’ll be time for our “User Generated Christmas”, as Seb Lee-Delisle plays a selection of your YouTube favourites, festive or otherwise. There’ll be all sorts of prizes given away, including some for the best clips, with Seb’s infamous “Glowstick Voting” system counting the ballots (As Seen at the DiMAs!). Attendees are invited – nay bloody-well encouraged – to send their favourite clips to jo.summers@gmail.com ahead of the date for the FlashBrighton production team to cut down into a side-splitting, spellbinding and seasonal shortlist. And good luck!
FlashBrighton will also be giving away its biannual major award to one of its members. As usual, you have to be there to win it!
Finally, Sarah Bird will wrap things up with a presentation from a very special guest. Guests in the past have included local animator legend Cyriak and writer/producer Bob Swain, of “Zombie Hotel” & “The Blue Man” fame, so expect quality!
Oh, and most importantly – there’s a bar! So bring beer money!
